Sen. Kennedy: ‘Under the Constitution, Congress Has Tariff Authority’; ‘For Better or Worse, Congress Gave Some of That Authority to the Presidency’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: “No. Under the Constitution, Congress has tariff authority. We gave — for better or worse, Congress gave some of that authority to the presidency. The president has been exercising that authority. The issue before the courts, and our courts are — it‘s appropriate for them to decide — is whether he has exceeded that authority. I don‘t think he has. But that‘s up to the courts to tell us. But in the meantime, nothing is going to change. These talks are not going to stop, nor should they.”
